I am an MBA graduate in International Business Management and am currently studying for an engineering degree in Sustainable Solutions at LAB University of Applied Sciences. I work in the Cleantech team at Business Turku as senior specialist in circular and bio economy and project manager for BioDemo.

Prior to joining Business Turku, I worked as the project coordinator for one of the largest Swedish speaking vocational schools in Finland. I have also worked as an entrepreneur for a few years, and before that had a long career in corporate aviation as a flight attendant, customer flight support officer and flight coordinator. I have lived a major part of my life abroad, among others in Saudi Arabia, Bolivia, Switzerland, Russia and the Far East. My international experience and career at some point sparked an interest in exploring different options that could promote sustainable development and support a global green transition, which have led to where I am today. My greatest areas of interest lie within innovations, business development, project management and the vast opportunities and possibilities created by the transition from a linear economy to a circular economy.
